Big Biz wins China vote

U.S. firms have a lot at stake in granting China permanent normal trade relations

May 24, 2000: 7:59 p.m. ET

NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Corporate America is celebrating the passage in the House of Representatives of legislation that expands U.S. trading ties with China, a landmark accord that would pry open Beijing's potentially enormous markets for computers, insurance, crops and a host of other products.

The House approved the hotly contested bill in a 237-197 vote Wednesday, ratifying the bilateral trade pact brokered by the Clinton administration and Chinese officials last fall. But the bill still has another step ahead. The Senate, which is expected to easily approve the measure, is due to vote on the legislation next month.

- Great news for CIBT :)
